Description
SpongeBob SquarePants "Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost" Squidward Production Cel Setup with "Plankton!" Master Background (Nickelodeon, 1999). "And now that I have been immortalized in wax, I have conquered all artistic medium!" From one of the last Nicktoons to premiere in the 1990s, Squidward celebrates sculpting a most convincing replica of himself in this original production cel setup with Master production background from SpongeBob SquarePants. Currently the fifth-longest running American animated series ever, with 14 seasons and counting, SpongeBob is a wildly-popular Nickelodeon original created by marine science teacher, Stephen Hillenburg. Only Season 1 was produced using traditional cel animation, making offerings like this one quite scarce and highly desirable. Squidward, in a rare moment of bliss, revels in his mastery of the arts near the 0:28 mark of the episode 11 segment "Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost". The hand-painted cel features a joyful and full-figured image of Squidward measuring 4.25" x 3.75" with his arms spread wide, and a production code is present in the lower right corner. The 12 field cel is presented with a Master production background of his bedroom from the Season 1 episode 3 segment "Plankton!" which can be spotted near the 7:54 mark of the segment as Squidward faints from shock. The highly detailed hand-painted background has been rendered in gouache on 12 field background board measuring 14" x 10.25" with production codes found along the lower edge. Backgrounds for episode 3 were created by Andy Clark and Calvin G. Liang. With typical studio handling and wear including minor linework wear with areas of restoration, remaining tape, minor surface debris/residue, and light edge/corner wear, overall this setup is in Very Good condition.Auction Info
